Programmability and network capabilities of the hosting platform enables remote control and diagnosis scenarios, fully automated RF alarm systems, advanced assistance for unattended detection requirements such as those of radio operators, cell towers and HAM stations.

For best flexibility, these two boards can be easily re-converted between modes by soldering a required connector:

Raspberry Pi Hat can be converted to Arduino Shield by soldering standard 0.1” male headers to the PCB

Arduino Shield can be converted to Raspberry Pi Hat by soldering a 13x2 0.1” female header to the PCB

Designed in this way, it is easy to reconvert the board to a different hosting platform with no extra cost if you have different needs down the road.

Furthermore, other platforms such as BeagleBone, Chip, Chipkit, Teensy all them can easily control a RF Explorer 3G+ IoT by manually connecting to a standard UART port.
